Heales, Easter Sepulchres: their Object, Nature, and History in Archaeologia, xlii. 263; cf. also Monumenta Vetusta (Soc. of Antiquaries), iii. pll. xxxi, xxxii; Parker, Glossary of Architecture, s.v. Sepulchre; M. E. C. Walcott, Sacred Archaeology, s.v. Easter Sepulchre; T. F. Dyer, Church Lore Gleanings, 219; W. Andrews, Old Church Lore, iii; J. D. Chambers, App. xxiv; Micklethwaite, 52; Rock, iii. 2. 92, 240, 251. Continental ordines and notices may be found in Martene, iii. 131, 172, 178; iv. 141, 145; Milchsack, 41, 121; Pearson, ii. 295; Wetzer and Welte, Kirchen-Lexicon, s.v. Grab; J. Dankó, Vetus Hymn. Eccl. Hungariae, 535, 579. I have not seen this writer’s Die Feier des Osterfestes (Wien, 1872). On representations of the sepulchre in mediaeval art, cf. P. Weber, 32, and the miniature from Robert of Jumièges’ Missal (ed. F. E. Warren for H. B. Soc. pl. viii).
